Implementing the Response – Once information has been gathered, hazards assessed, and the potential consequences evaluated, a plan is developed to respond to the incident. In this program, the legends discuss offensive versus defensive actions as well as the decision not to intervene. Among the critical issues are establishing control zones, entry team briefings, working in PPE, managing heat stress, air monitoring, scene safety, communications, and managing evidence.

Evaluating Progress & Terminating the Incident – Throughout the incident, responders must evaluate the progress of the incident action plan, Are control functions effective? Is decontamination successful? Once the emergency phase of the incident is over, steps must be taken to safely terminate the incident.
